O Art TV continues the legacy of the earlier Art Channel and Art Television, an international television network originally founded in 1992 in Belgrade.
It began as a terrestrial channel and later, from 2004 in Paris, evolved into a satellite television and internet-based platform dedicated to contemporary art and video art.
“Television as art” is the core concept of its Editor-in-Chief, artist Milan Atanaskovic, who examines the relationship between contemporary art, everyday life, and culture, while exploring how the television medium – encompassing its production elements, staff, journalists, technology, premises – can itself serve as a work of art.
EVERYDAY REVOLUTION IN ART
In its latest internet-based iteration, O Art TV predominantly broadcasts raw overviews of exhibitions and contemporary art events, presented as fragments of experience and contributions to the FRAGMENTATION MUSEUM (fragmentationmuseum.com; fragmentation.fr), an art concept that highlights fragmentation as a phenomenon and its product – the fragment – as a new artistic form in contemporary art.
